In “A Dictionary of Ancient Roman Coins”, Jones says of Fides, “’Good faith, loyalty, trustworthiness’, a personification frequently represented on Roman coins in the form of a female figure. The abstract idea of Fides is sometimes expressed in other ways. The cult of Fides (specifically Fides Publica or the good faith of the State) was practiced in Rome from a very early time…but on coins of Vespasian and on those of many later emperors ears of grain and a basket of fruit are more commonly found. This suggests that the idea behind the FIDES PVBLICA which such coins promise is the reliability of the grain supply (cf. Annona).” The temple of Fides in Rome was also called the Fides Publica and the temple of Fides Publica Populi Romani. LOVE ANCIENT COINS? Visit the ACM, And Learn About The Hobby!
